The Purple Man Makes a Mental Note: Don't Mind-control Ninjas
Killgrave is one of my favorite villains: he's a snappy dresser and he really is a irredeemable hedonistic monster. He's made big plays in the marvel universe and is someone that Marvel superheroes almost universally despise.
He's also someone we love to see get beat up, as we see behind the cut.
P. man mindcontrols Elektra to kill the Shroud.

Short and simple
I wish I was a ninja. I like hiding in the shadows, as a matter of fact I'm right behind you!
Re: Short and simple
you may be behind me... but im behind you!
how may you ask?
*does gravelly voice* "I'm batman"
LOL!
Heck, the Batman Begins scene, where he dupes Liam Neeson's character into grabbing the wrong ninja, is probably close enough to count..
Re: LOL!
Thug: WHERE ARE YOU?!?
Batman (hangs upside down behind him): Here.
Thug: AA- *is grabbed*
Re: LOL!
Though having said that, even with Ninja's there is that oft quoted rule about Ninja's being less less and effective the more there are of them.
In fact is that a tv trope rule? I would go checking myself, but the last time I did that hours vanished before I knew it! (I swear that internet site just swallows time! ;) )
Re: LOL!
*HAI-YA!*
You're wicked!
Re: Short and simple
Oh, sure, simple things. Day to day ninja-ing. But eventually, it gets kinda stale.
And then there are the smart alecks. "Why didn't you dodge that bullet? Aren't you a ninja? Can't you just walk through walls? No? What kind of ninja are you? Hold your breath for 5 minutes? You mean you can't do it longer?"
Aaron "The Mad Whitaker" Bourque; listen, you give it a try, some time. It's not as easy as we make it look.
Re: Short and simple
"Gah! Don't do that?"
"What?"
"Sneak up on me!"
"I didn't. I've been standing still in the kitchen for ten minutes. You have crappy peripheral vision."
/this is a true, common occurence

"Mud."
Silly person, ninja can walk on water.

Hmm..Nice but..
(Maybe the writer's mixing up his power with the Mandrill's?)
Having said that, maybe this is one of those heroic will power defeating evil mind control moments? I which case, way to go girl! As no disrespect to the Shroud, but if I had to bet on one of those two being strong enough to do so, it would be Elektra. She's always been kind of stubborn..to say the least LOL!
Re: Hmm..Nice but..
I always did love that moment..
But then, I'm sure Daredevil's resisted Purple man's power before. Though again Matt shows a lot less skin than Elektra's free flowing sash style outfits. (There's still a twisted part of me that wishes Jennifer Garniers outfit had been closer to the comic book incarnation, despite the real world unlikeliness of it. Still wouldn't have saved that movie though..)

Re: Hmm..Nice but..
I remember Daredevil resisting Purple Man's influence way back when Zebby first showed up, but back then, he theorized that the control was partially visible (Zebby calls it his Purple Power on the cover), and his blindness gave him an edge.
In other words..
But I hadn't realised that there was any comic that said Purple Man's power was partially visible..Thinking that must be a little bit of an anomaly..
Unless of course Daredvil doesn't want anyone to know that he's a SECRET NINJA!! ;)
Should be handy if the SECRET Avengers is the team he ends up in! LOL!

I suppose it's somewhat appropriate I guess..
Re: I suppose it's somewhat appropriate I guess..
...While I'm on the topic of the art, one criticism I'd make is that the blows could feel more convincing. The kicks kind of feel like... movie kicks, like she's kicking the area right next to him and then he's flying back of his own accord.
I mean if you're gonna draw someone kicking the shit out of the Purple Man, I wanna really feel how hard someone's kicking the shit out of the purple man, you know? Show me that elbow going right into his big, stupid face, make me enjoy how much that hurts him.
Yep! Especially given her favourite weapons..

Why I like the Purple Man
Re: Why I like the Purple Man
But then according to Bendis he thinks of himself as a comic book character. Something which has never made much sense to me, but at least it would excuse the corniness of his supervillian name!
